Why can’t Apple act like Genshin Impact? Revealing the technical limitations and controversies behind game recharge

Recently, as a popular game in the world, the recharge issue of "Genshin Impact" has once again triggered discussions among players, especially Apple device users who frequently encounter recharge failures. This article will analyze the reasons from three dimensions: technology, policy and market, and attaches the popularity data of related topics across the Internet in the past 10 days.

1. Technical limitations: Differences in payment systems between Apple and Android

Why can’t Apple act like Genshin Impact?

Contrast DimensionsApple systemAndroid system
payment channelForce the use of App Store in-app purchasesCan connect to third-party payment
handling fee30% share (reduced to 15% after annual income exceeds 1 million)Usually 0-5%
Review cycle7-14 daysReal-time arrival

Apple's closed ecosystem requires that all digital content consumption must be completed through the App Store. In order to avoid high revenue sharing, MiHoYo tried to guide users to the official website to recharge, which led to Apple delisting "Genshin Impact" for three days (incident in 2022).

2. Recent hot data: player complaints and discussion trends

PlatformNumber of related topics (last 10 days)core points of dispute
Weibo128,000 itemsRecharge failed and refund difficult
TapTap32,000 itemsiOS recharge price is higher than Android
Station B5600 itemsThe comparison video has been played more than 2 million times

3. Deep-seated contradictions: the game caused by the 30% "Apple tax"

1.price difference: Due to Apple’s commission, the actual recharge of 648 yuan on the iOS side is only 453 yuan, while the full amount can be obtained on the Android side through official channels.

2.activity restrictions: Some web version exclusive offers (such as double crystals) cannot be participated on the iOS side.

3.Account interoperability: Although data is interoperable, iOS and Android recharge currencies cannot be used across platforms.

4. Solutions and alternatives

Plan typeSpecific operationsAdvantages and Disadvantages
Official recommendationRecharge through PC version or official websiteNo commission but need to switch devices
Third-party rechargeTaobao/charging platformRisk of account suspension
System switchingLog in to the same account on an Android deviceAdditional equipment required

5. Industry Impact: Chain Reactions Triggered by Apple Tax

1.Epic lawsuit: In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that Apple must not ban third-party payments, but there are still obstacles to specific implementation.

2.Developer Countermeasures: Some games adopt the "iOS high price strategy". For example, the redemption ratio of the Creation Crystal on the iOS version of "Genshin Impact" is lower than that on Android.

3.User education: Apple has added a "This app supports other purchase methods" prompt on the App Store page (updated in January 2024).

Conclusion

The essence of the recharge conflict between Apple and "Genshin Impact" is the distribution of interests between the platform side and the content side. As global antitrust regulation intensifies, more flexible payment solutions may emerge in the future. It is recommended that players recharge through official safe channels to avoid losing big for small things.
